Well, after TextAmerica went and broke their RSS feed _again_ a few weeks ago, breaking my homepage display of the latest moblog image, I finally got motivated to change services. I've had a few run-ins with them before. One of their bizdev dudes took offence to my posting code to parse their RSS feed to strip out their stupid ad links and link (correctly, in my view) to the full-size image page from the thumbnail. We went back and forth via email, and eventually I took down the code that was getting his panties in a twist. My homeslice "Joshua":http://firepile.com/log/ (who is now "a rawk star":http://www.boingboing.net/2004/04/29/moblog_image_import_.html, btw) recently whipped up "an application":http://www.firepile.com/software/archives/000133.html to pull all of your images off of TA(TextAmerica), and then you can either save them locally as some XML(eXtensible Markup Language)/XSL(eXtensible Stylesheet Language) files, or you can email and post them directly into your new moblog account, which in the case of "my new moblog":http://moblg.net/blog/feralboy is on "MoblogUK":http://moblg.net/.

"MoblogUK":http://moblg.net/ seems like a pretty sweet site; you actually "own your own images":http://www.firepile.com/software/archives/000133.html, and it seems a bit more community-based, with ratings and open comments and (my favorite) seeing who has been to your moblog recently. I still need to tweak the code that's pulling up my most recent image to include the title and description, as well as put a "border=0" on the image tag, but already I'm about 1,000 times happier with "MoblogUK":http://moblg.net/ over TA(TextAmerica).
